Sourcing Story

49th Parallel Crop To Cup Story

In Costa Rica, Hector Bonilla and his family own and operate the Don Mayo micromill alongside a number of small farms in the surrounding region. Coffees grown and processed by the Bonilla family are frequently seen placing highly in the annual Costa Rica ‘Cup of Excellence’ competition, an indicator of the precision and care taken at all stages of the coffee producing process.

Owning their own micromill (where the coffee is processed) alongside the farms gives the Bonilla family complete control over their entire operation, allowing for more detailed lot separations and experimenting with different fermentation or drying methods.

This lot is from Bella Vista farm (meaning ‘great view’), located in the León Cortes micro-region in Tarrazu. It’s a white honey process, 100% catuai variety. A ‘Cup of Excellence’ winning farm, Bella Vista is representative of the superb coffee the Bonilla family are producing.
